Mmmm Autumn

Just two blocks from my house is this fantastic mini-nursery/fruit stand. And in October it is transformed into a colorful spectacle of all things Autumn. It makes me smile just to drive or walk by and see the mounds of corn stalks, the rows of mums, and the piles of pumpkins. And so begins my favorite month of the year...

October

leaves, pumpkins, costumes, candy,
pumpkin muffins and cookies,
apple-picking, applesauce making, caramel apples,
crunching leaves under foot on long runs,
sweaters, jackets, boots
wearing socks to bed,
oatmeal/hot chocolate mornings,
anniversary celebration,
fireplace fires crackling,
ghosts swaying from our front tree,
the world alive with color
